It's often said there's nothing certain in life except death and taxes. According to two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalists Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele, however, the latter part of that adage is now decidedly in dispute. The Great American Tax Dodge, the pair's latest examination of U.S. systems gone awry, spells out exactly how massive tax fraud is currently costing the nation enough to provide health care for its 44 million uninsured citizens--and precisely why the problem will continue to grow at virtually all economic levels unless remedial measures are immediately employed. In their fully detailed but always readable style, Barlett and Steele authoritatively discuss multimillionaires who never file tax returns, Internet sites that can link anyone to shady tax havens, the use of "phantom children" and "invisible employees" to illegitimately shelter income, and evasive techniques like offshore accounts and holding companies that illegally keep money from reaching the government agencies to which it is owed. But the problem cannot exclusively be blamed on those individuals who choose to shirk their civic responsibility, the authors note. Congress, which regularly looks the other way, and the IRS itself, which consistently fails to enforce its own rules, also share much of the blame. Packed with specific examples and unsettling particulars, the book will frustrate everyone who dutifully files a tax return each April and expects their fellow Americans to do the same. Fortunately, it also includes a simple yet plausible proposal for turning the situation around. --Howard Rothman
Book Description
In The Great American Tax Dodge, a book that should infuriate and galvanize citizens everywhere, the best-selling authors of America: What Went Wrong? expose the millions of Americans who are dodging their income taxes at every honest taxpayer's expense. With the clarity, insight, and readability that earned them two Pulitzer Prizes, Donald Barlett and James Steele explain how Americans are cheating as never before, and why most are getting away with it.
The authors relate the stories of a Manhattan couple who spent $1 million a month to maintain their lifestyle yet never paid income tax, a California couple who provided sport utility vehicles for their children at taxpayers' expense, an entrepreneur in Costa Rica who shows Americans how to hide their money in clandestine accounts offshore, and computer technicians at America's largest corporations who live tax-free.
Barlett and Steele describe how the Internet has democratized tax cheating, as proliferating Web sites and their often mysterious operators offer every service imaginable to escape taxes. They discuss the double standard the IRS employs in tax audits--one for the rich and well-connected and another for everyone else--and how the Justice Department tries to jail powerless citizens accused of tax law violations while allowing the wealthy and influential to go free. This book also documents how Congress is deliberately undermining the income tax in order to replace it with a system that will provide the largest windfall ever for the richest Americans--and increase the burden on everyone else. And it spells out how executives like Kenneth L. Lay bankrolled campaigns to institute such a tax system, based on accounting principles eerily similar to those employed at Lay's Enron Corporation. Finally, the authors consider our chances for reestablishing what was once the fairest tax system in the world.

The Essence of the Argument is There..........2003-12-24
While there are some short-comings with this book, the overall general idea rings true, and their evidence supports the claim. The book does not aim to be a fix-all for the numerous troubles that ail american democracy. Rather, it simply aims to expose yet another example of class preference in American society.
Like the legal system, the tax code works more to one's advantage the more money one has. That is the simple premise of the book - not government gridlock, not class jealousy, and certainly not socialism. The authors argue from the simple point of showing how wealthy individuals take great advantage of our tax code. And while it does suggest a certain conclusion, I would argue that it is common sense and logic that they use to arrive at the fact that this is but one more way the wealthy absolve themselves of any responsibility in society.
In the end, it is an informative read, but should not be taken by itself. It should be read in conjunction with other works on the tax code, gov't spending, and other problems that plague American society and allow the wealthy to keep distancing themselves, and avoid responsibility.
Informative but unhelpful.......2001-09-04
The major portion of the book confirms our suspicions of the massive tax avoidance and evasion that is extant in the U.S. today. I found much of the material to be revealing of the methodology used by rich and poor to escape the responsibility of paying ones dues.
The authors lost me in their attack on VAT ( National Sales Tax ) which has worked successfully in tne United Kingdom and in Canada. These countries are way ahead of us in Social Services. Any tax plan will have its defects, but this is one way to avoid the off shore plans, and the refusal to even submit the 1040 form.
The final chapter devoted to the authors' solution to the problem is a joke. If you take one suggestion after another it is clear that our economy will not tolerate their badly constructed cure. I think that they were just in a hurry to close out the book and had really ill considered, ( or no ), advice from seasoned economists. These two chapters left me with a feeling of let down and disappointment. I had hoped to find some well constructed answers to a pernicious problem. But they offered none.
Terrific Book.......2001-04-13
Barlett and Steel won two Pulitzer prices for journalism so you know their work is high quality. This book will offend some readers, especially the devious rich and the gray-area almost-crooks. But I hope it will anger the hard working stiffs in the middle class who still believe paying taxes is the price of having a good society. The authors make a convincing case that Congress does not care to make the system just or fair and that America is in danger of moving toward the Banana Republic and some-European-countries model where if you pay your taxes honestly you are considered a fool. How bad it has gotten can be seen in the case of our famous former president, who managed to leave his presidency in such a sleazy way. The book came out last fall and maybe Bubba read the pages on Marc Rich, who could be described as a crook and an enemy of America. But that didn't stop our president from granting him a pardon. Could a $450,000 donation to the Clinton library and some $150,000 donated to Hilary's senate campaign have anything to do with that? Of course not. I give this book five stars because it is well researched and well written, fascinating from beginning to end. See what a boon the Internet has become for tax cheats. See how venerable Swiss banks are only too happy to help you hide your undeclared income. See how Congress crippled the IRS. We now have the best government and representatives money can buy and nobody cares. Almost nobody. A man like Sen. McCain is a miracle, because he is one of the solutions. Read this book. It's terrific.
As long as I don't get caught, it's okay........2000-11-14
Before I read the book, I had the (mistaken) belief that all income tax evaders had an equal chance of an IRS Audit. I now see that the IRS is set-up to audit citizens that can't afford lawyers--the book has good evidence for that, the kind you can find for yourself.
Unfortunately, the book isn't totally solid. It rightly points out that the current tax system is unfair for the un-wealthy, and I think the authors provide fairly good evidence that this unfairness is largely due to a congress that has created a behemoth tax code while simultaneously stripping the IRS of its ability to enforce it. Unfortunately, though, there were times that some claims went un-referenced (e.g., past tax code), which left me wondering about what was "factual."
The book is biased towards blaming the wealthy for lobbying congress while dumping billions into tax shelters (this bias, nonetheless, seems well supported), but the book isn't about wealth bashing--it is about the notion that in our country, to some extent, we are all our neighbor's helper, and to cheat taxes is morally incomprehensible and consequential. They point to the ills of society fostering an environment for cheaters of all kinds...from tax evaders to cheating college freshman, as evidence for the cheater's mentality. In this regard, the book has a pessimistic view of a human nature that always reduces itself to the "lowest common denominator" (i.e., if the wealthy cheat on taxes, why shouldn't I?). The authors pose good arguments against flat taxes and sales taxes, while supporting a progressive tax such as our current tax structure. They argue that the current tax code is too complicated and should be simplified. This complication is largely do to the history of special interest groups successfully lobbying for tax loopholes. Overall, I know more about taxes (and tax evasion) than I had before the book.
Read this before you vote!.......2000-11-03
Just read the last two chapters, "How Congress plans to increase your Taxes" and the final chapter on their solution. These authors show how Congress is crippling the enforcement of tax cheats by the rich, even granting them loopholes so they pay even less than they should. The flat tax and national sales tax are shown to be the shams they are, the rich will get very rich and the poor and middle class will take the burden of the lost taxes from the rich. Don't believe me, read the book. Why did Warren Buffett endorse Gore saying he (Buffett) pays less taxes than his secretary? Because this is all true, Congress has always made the tax laws favor the rich, hiding it in complex regulations that only the rich can afford the lawyers and accountants to figure out. They pay less taxes and now the Republicans want to make the income tax so difficult that the rest of the country can be sold a bill of goods that repealing the income tax and putting in a flat tax will help the middle class instead of the truth that it will devastate the middle class. Buy the book, get the book from the library, but read the book before you vote!

This book is a group project; Charles Lewis and Bill Allison are the principle authors, but they have relied on an "investigative team" that includes 19 other individuals affiliated with the Center for Public Integrity, a left-of-center research organization in Washington, D.C. What they've assembled in The Cheating of America is a muckraking survey of how the rich and powerful shirk their responsibilities: "We investigate the people and companies who have benefited most from our society and our way of life and then chosen to thumb their noses at the rest of us, by paying little or no taxes." The book is full of facts and figures, many sure to outrage. The authors identify, for instance, some 45,000 tax returns filed by people earning more than $100,000 and paying less than 7 percent of their income to the federal government--compared to millions of workers who earn much less and proportionally pay much more. (One recent IRS report counted 2,680 filers with incomes of $200,000 or more claiming they owed no taxes at all, up from just 85 in 1977.)
What makes the book succeed, however, is not its careful number crunching, but all the little stories that detail "the phenomenon of tax avoidance (that's legal), tax evasion (that's illegal), and tax 'avoision' (catch us if you can)." There are the wealthy film producers who use offshore trusts and tax shelters to hide their income, the millionaire tax evaders who renounce their U.S. citizenship in order to escape making tax payments, and the accountants who help it all happen. At times, the book feels like a long Reader's Digest article, all told in the service of an outrageous conclusion: "Many of the nation's wealthiest individuals and its largest corporations are not paying their fair share of taxes today." The Cheating of America will appeal to readers who appreciated the Center for Public Integrity's previous efforts, as well as admirers of Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele. --John J. Miller
Book Description
Each year millions of income-earning adults and corporations do not pay their fair share of federal income taxes -- whether legally (tax avoidance), illegally (tax evasion), or through shady means (tax "avoision"), and their numbers are rising dramatically. In this explosive book, Charles Lewis, founder and executive director of the Center for Public Integrity, and Bill Allison, a former researcher at the Philadelphia Inquirer finger these culprits.
Super-rich individuals and corporations alike are increasingly using offshore channels to hide money from the IRS, which seems to have given up on trying to catch them. Meanwhile, the rest of the population suffers. The IRS recently reported that 2,680 filers with incomes of $200,000 or more claimed they owed no taxes, up from 612 in the mid-eighties, and 85 in 1977. While audits of these wealthy taxpayers have plummeted, audits of those earning less than $25,000 per year have risen. Not only that, but in 1997 only 2.3 percent of returns filed by the richest Americans were reviewed.
With The Cheating of America, Lewis and Allison aim to unmask those who are stiffing Uncle Sam, as well as the system that permits their activities. They reveal how blue-chip U.S. corporations take advantage of dubious shelters or move their taxable profits offshore. Frequently these same companies have also availed themselves of cheaper labor overseas, laying off thousands of American workers. Some estimates show that more than a trillion dollars are salted away in offshore bank accounts, beyond the reach of the Internal Revenue Service.
Lewis and Allison provide a richly detailed and colorful overview of the key players -- federal legislators, the IRS, New York banks, foreign "tax havens" -- and the cottage industry that teaches aspiring dodgers how to cheat successfully. At the heart of the book are case studies of some of the most brazen individuals and corporations, including the "Benedict Arnold Billionaires" who have expatriated from the United States in order to reduce or eliminate their tax burden.
With explosive investigative revelations and the authority of the Center for Public Integrity behind it, The Cheating of America will further educate all those who "pay their fair share" while the financial elite dodge their responsibility to society. Sure to enlighten and outrage, The Cheating of America is a must-read for every citizen.

Good research, but disparages capitalism.......2007-10-11
I profited from this book because the authors and their research staff related interesting stories of companies and their battles with the IRS using sources such as newspapers and Tax Court transcripts, and I bought a cheap used copy. The research was thorough and I skipped some of the tedious details. But, I fear that many other readers will buy into the denunciation of capitalism espoused by the authors. If you haven't already read books explaining why capitalism in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Ireland creates many more happy and prosperous people than U.S. and European socialism, then you would profit more from reading books such as "The Capitalist Manifesto" or "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal" or "The Sovereign Individual."
The authors believe that because "taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society," the U.S. should continue taxing 35% of the economy and regulating another 10-15%. Unfortunately for the U.S., Hong Kong will be as rich as the U.S. in 10 years if current trends continue, and Singapore will be as rich in 20 years. Benevolent government is a delicate balance between anarchy and despotism, and the U.S. has long since descended into an anarchic despotic state where most government activities involve gathering everyone into numerous groups who steal from everyone else; or protecting people from their own foolishness; or operating military bases in 130 countries or acting as a referee in their civil wars. The authors fail to recognize that only a minor portion of U.S. federal government activity benefits the general welfare such as protecting property ownership and other individual rights; and that a special interest group can have millions of members who benefit from government spending at others' expense.
The authors assume that since rich people own a disproportionate share of corporations, and corporations have been paying a smaller share of total taxes during the last 30 years, that the IRS should pursue corporations more energetically; and that doing so will alleviate the crushing tax burden of individuals that are not rich. They fail to recognize that not only rich people, but also many ordinary people own shares in their pension plans; and to a large extent corporations are tax collectors that transfers taxes to their customers, most of whom are ordinary people. Even corporations selling luxury items to the rich still employ workers who suffer when the IRS drives corporations to manufacture elsewhere.
The authors lament the emigration of rich Americans to countries with lower taxes and advocate enforcement of a law that would prevent emigrants from visiting the United States after they renounce citizenship. They falsely believe that rich people cannot happily live luxuriously permanently outside the U.S. and enforcement of the law barring their return would discourage many from emigrating; and refuse to recognize that rich people can enjoy many other countries. The few that would be successfully discouraged would be offset by the many who would spend their tourist money elsewhere. London has successfully attracted the spending and capital of foreign billionaires using a favorable tax structure, and the U.S. could compete by emulating the practice (and making the airport experience more enjoyable). Millions of Mexicans emigrate to the U.S., rich and poor alike, and Mexico welcomes their return not only for the tourism industry, but as a humanitarian gesture. Building a Berlin Wall around the U.S. would be as counterproductive as it was in Germany.
Duh.......2005-10-07
Of course these taxes arent being paid! We've set up a system that allows it. The more complex a tax code is, the more exemptions that are allowed the more loopholes that are available to exploit. I seriously don't know why anyone would be shocked this happens.
The ironic solution to this mess, if you truely want to solve it, is to advocate a flat tax with no exemptions (maybe one) or a national sales tax and do away with national income tax.
If your concern is about the billions being wasted by the government over 50% of our budget is non-discretionary. That means congress can't touch it through yearly appropriation. That means it grows and grows and grows uncontrollably. This spending includes wealth transfers through welfare, corporate subsidies (WEalth transfer from poor to rich), and social security (poor to rich wealth transfer) to name a few. Ironically we spend billions to protect farmers the result of which is higher price for food and then billions more on food stamps so the poor can afford the higher priced food. Society as a result is hurt.
Well over 1 trillion is wasted in this manner...
Just Kevin Phillips dribble in another book........2005-09-23
My best defense to the 5 star reviewers is that a congressman no less once said that "Taxes are a levy on ignorance." I also want to make very clear that I am against tax evasion, but wholeheartily endorse taking legal, above board tax deductions. I am sure that most legitimate business people would agree.
For the record, I have been in a zero tax bracket since 1991 and when I was an employee, was getting refunds on ssi.
By the way, how does it make you tax happy animals feel to know that your ssi contributions will never come back to you. Why do you suppose that congressmen and senators don't participate in ssi?
A Study of Tax Evasion By The Super Affluent.......2005-07-24
"The Cheating Of America: How Tax Avoidance And Evasion by the Super Rich Are Costing the Country Billions-And What You Can Do About It" by Charles Lewis, Bill Allison, et. al., is a well-researched overview of how some of America's wealthiest citizens and corporations avoid and evade taxation.
"The Cheating Of America" tells us that at least $195 billion a year in taxes isn't collected from the ultra-wealthy.
This means the amounts collected from honest affluent people, middle-class earners, and low-income people are invariably higher. If all the rich paid their taxes, it's estimated the average taxpayer wouldn't have to pay thousands of dollars per year in extra taxes to make up the tax shortfall.
While $1.5 billion in new wealth is created every day in the U.S., we learn the number of full-time workers living in poverty has increased from 459,000 in 1998 to over 2.8 million in 2001.
A few of the issues:
--American companies legally open non-U.S. corporations to hold non-U.S. profits. But, these companies often engage in illegal pricing schemes to inflate their foreign profits at the expense of U.S. profits, effectively transferring taxable income to the foreign corporation.
In the 1950's, corporate taxes comprised 27% of the tax revenue. By the 1990's, corporate taxes only made up about 10% of the federal tax revenue. That's about a 2/3 decrease in corporate taxes. Individual taxpayers must make up the difference.
--Nonprofit Organizations operating businesses. The book estimates that non-profits control $1.3 trillion in wealth. While many nonprofits are legitimate, many aren't.
The authors write: "...the precedent for using the cover of benefiting mankind to avoid taxes has a long, rich tradition. ... Howard Hughes, for example, set up the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, which owned the stock of his aircraft manufacturing corporation. The nonprofit medical institute gave hardly any money to charity during his lifetime, unless one considers bankrolling the reclusive lifestyle of Hughes a charitable purpose."
Some of these nonprofits are lobbying organizations and industry promotional groups (For example, lobbying for deregulation and tax cuts).
--Corporate use of "phantom losses" from transactions that lack economic substance. The Cheating Of America does a good job of discussing the problems with international banking and how some companies create many entities to try to confuse the IRS. The secretive nature of some foreign country banks makes it nearly impossible for the IRS to obtain the records it needs to properly evaluate a business's tax situation. It's estimated that $10 billion a year in tax revenue is lost to this type of tax shelter.
For example, sometimes, some foreign bank will "loan" a wealthy individual money. That money is really taxable income in disguise. And, interest payments on the "loan" are sometimes reported as tax-deductible, if the "loan" is disguised as a mortgage or business loan.
--Wealthy individuals, renouncing American citizenship to avoid taxes, but continuing to spend hundreds of days per year in the United States. (In fairness to some of the tax ex-patriots, many also faced serious legal problems because they engaged in fraudulent activity. So, avoiding criminal prosecution or civil lawsuits could also be a motive for fleeing the U.S.)
So, what can the average American do about this? Not much. The Cheating Of America devotes a short five-page chapter to discussing what you can do. First, it points out you can't benefit from these tax-evasion schemes yourself, unless you have a lot of money.
Why can't the middle-class benefit from these methods? Because they were never designed to benefit the middle class. For example, the major source of income for most people is labor. If you work for somebody else, your wages are usually reported to the government. It's almost impossible to avoid paying taxes on money earned from work. The book does point out that many sole proprietors who deal in cash underreport their income, and the book recommends paying with a check to prevent these people from under reporting income. However, this doesn't affect most of the exceptionally wealthy.
What about depositing a small amount in a foreign bank? Your money might well disappear. These banks aren't regulated by U.S. law, and many are fronts for organized crime, terrorism, and other bad behavior.
Further, it's pointed out that the wealthiest individuals can afford the best attorneys in the world to defend them in tax court. They can tie the tax court up for 20 years with tens of thousands of documents. A few million in legal fees is chump change. And, they often purchase political influence. (A few million dollars contributed to the local community of a small country--and its officials--can do wonders for helping to avoid extradition.)
Trying to put pressure on politicians to enforce existing laws and enact laws that enforce tax fairness is one possibility. The authors say asking our politicians questions and demanding answers is a good start.
Overall, I highly recommend "The Cheating Of America: How Tax Avoidance And Evasion by the Super Rich Are Costing the Country Billions--And What You Can Do About It" to all people interested in learning about tax evasion by the rich.
Muckracking Expose.......2005-03-13
Calling this "left-wing propaganda" and other editorial commentary in some reviews really just proves the premise that as America slips into decline, the only 'wealth' being created is tax cheating schemes, along with 'no-down-payment' real estate speculating courses, and "privatization" of public property such as utilities, or government research. This book has the scoop on all the famous tax cheat schemes, and consumer warnings against get involved in them. But precious little recommendations on how to solve the problem. But the main message of the book is that making money in America is no longer about producing a product, or providing a service, but about cheating on your income tax. Pretty much the USA is on the road toward becoming a corrupt third world bananna republic, like Mexico.
Book Description
The question of whether there are internationally recognized anti-avoidance rules that are applied to tax treaties involves two subsidiary questions: (1) Whether international law recognizes the concept of abuse of rights, fraus legis. (2) Whether this concept of abuse of rights, fraus legis, the business purpose test, etc., can be applied to tax treaties. The book then turns to the question of whether provisions included in the tax code that are expressly designed to re-characterize or deal with transactions that are considered to result in unacceptable avoidance of tax under the code can be extended and applied where there is an unacceptable avoidance of tax by virtue of the application of a tax treaty provision.

From the author: In the context of a model of profit-maximizing multinational firms, this paper demonstrates three types of influences that international tax avoidance is expected to have on international trade. International tax avoidance affects the location decisions of multinational firms as well as the prices and quantities of their intrafirm trade transactions. The paper then investigates hypotheses generated from these theoretical predictions using a panel data set on U.S. multinational firm operations. Evidence is found of a substantial and statistically significant relationship between tax avoidance incentives and the pattern of U.S. international trade.
